All divers learn
to consider the phase of the moon as they plan their dives. For
handi-divers, this is especially important. The moon controls our
tides and thus, determines tidal surge. The effect of the moon on
tides is strongest during both full and new moons. That means every
two weeks the tidal surge due to phase of moon will be strongest.
Handi-Divers should consider this when scheduling dives. For a moon
calendar, you are welcom to visit Paul Carlisle's
website.
